Jeremiah 52:25

He took also out of the city a eunuch, who had charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were the king's counsel, who were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

AD 1849

Seven: 4 Kings has five. But this seems more correct, as seven were commonly employed, Esther i. 10., and Tobias xii. 15. (Calmet) Two might be taken later. (Haydock) A scribe. St. Jerome has Sop her, (4 Kings) as if it were a proper name, and not an office.
